Ryan walked toward Donald and bowed deferentially. “All three thousand soldiers from Pollerton 318 Regiment are at your service. Lord Campbell, we're at your command!”
Three thousand soldiers? Lord Campbell?
Dumbfounded, Jay and the others had lost the ability to think straight.
What? Donald's the legendary Lord Campbell?
Yvette and the others' faces blanched as that was the most earth-shattering piece of news they had ever heard.
The mighty Lord Campbell had made his name among the nation.
He successfully protected the border and turned the tide of the battle at Quadfield, vanquishing the enemy in the Holy War all by himself.
Never could they have imagined that Donald was the well-known Lord Campbell.
It seemed like fate had played a joke on them.
To their dismay, that was not the end of the tribulation. After a thunderous rumbling coming from the outside, the entire Fortune Bar began to quake.
Yet again, they could not help but look out of the window.
Ten huge bulldozers took their positions. Each of their wheels was as big as the entrance of the hotel.
“L-L-Lord Campbell...” Jay stumbled over his words. His knees buckled out of a sudden. “I was ignorant! I should've known who you are!”
Shima was also nonplussed at the sight.
What's going on? I actually tried to lay my hands on Lord Campbell's wife! Still, although he's the revered Lord Campbell, isn't he taking it too far? How dare he dispatch military forces in a busy city! Isn't he afraid that Chiliad Avion would punish him? How is he going to explain tonight's situation to the citizens?
Only then did Donald crack a faint smirk.
“Look. Your security system is not doing its job.”
A cold sweat broke out on Jay's forehead. His blood had run cold.
What kind of ordinary security system could withstand such destructive power?
“Lord Campbell, I'm wrong! I've truly realized that I'm in the wrong!” Jay trembled in unmitigated terror.
Slowly drawing closer to him, Donald pressed his right hand on top of Jay's head and said, “Jennifer's my beloved wife.
You’ve crossed the line. Since you've committed a sin, it's only natural that you receive your punishment.”
